In the coming days, our children will be engaged in the Pearson GRADE Assessment (Literacy) and GMADE Assessment (Math). It is important for you to know that we use the testing results, along with other assessments, to determine your child’s strengths and areas where extra support might be beneficial. Using assessments such as these, we shape our instruction when intervening with children who might struggle in certain areas based on the results. The GMADE Assessment also helps us to determine eligibility in our math enrichment program, where students might display a strong aptitude in math.

We appreciate all of your support in having our children prepared for these tests. Please call me with any questions. Thank you… Richie
